WalletPop's Jason Cochran, himself a student of Orlando, interviewed the childhood friends, originally from Michigan but now living in New York City, in the hours before they flew to Florida to begin their marathon in a fish bowl.

Check out our studio interview with the twosome, in which they reveal how they scored the coolest job of the year. And check back here in a few weeks, when we jet to Florida to catch up with the pair and follow them around for a day on the job.
